BEMOVABLE SAVD-IBON HOLDER. i

Be itv known that I, CLINTON C. TIEDE- MANN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Milwaukee, county of Milwaukee, and State of Wisconsin, have invented'new and useful Improvements in Removable Sad-Iron Holders, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in sad 1ron holders. l

The object of my invention is to support a sad iron at a distance from the upper surface of and at/one side of an ordinary ironing board in such a manner that the entire upper surface will be unobstructed thereby, whereby the fabric to be ironed may be spread over the entire upper surface of the ironing-board while the sad iron may be moved over the entire surface of such fabric without belng brought in contact with the supporting mechanism of the holder and my invention pertains, first, to the device for removably supporting the holder from thev lower side of the ironin board; second, to the means employed for p1votally connecting the iron holder with the supporting bracket, whereby said holder is free to be turned on its pivotal support; third, to the device for supporting the holder at a distance above and to one side of the ironing board.

My invention is further explained by reference to the accompanying drawings in which- Figure 1 represents a plan. View thereof; Fig. 2a side view part in section drawn on line X-X of Fig. 1; and Fig. 3 is an end view.

Like parts are identified by the same reference numerals throughout the several views.

1 represents a portion of an ordinary ironing board.; 2 is the sad iron holder.

The sad iron holder is connected with the ironing board through the pivotal bolt 3,

removable bracket 4 and stationary bracket 5, which bracket .5 is permanently secured to the under side of the board by a plurality of screws 6. The bracket 5 is provided on its under side with a plurality of notches 7 for the reception of the catch 8, which catc'h is formed integral with the rear end of the horizontal arm 10 of the bracket 4, and is adapted to engage in any one ofthe several notches 7 as desired. The bracket 5 is provided with a supporting loop 9, which extends downwardly beneath the front end of the horizontal arm 10 of the bracket 4 and serves to support said bracket in place while the rear end of said arm is thrown up in Contact with and caused to engage in one of the notches 7 of said stationary bracket.

The sad iron holder 2 is provided on its respective sides with upwardly extending flanges 12, which flanges also converge at the front endof the holder at the points 13, while the rear end of said flangesare turned inward terminating at the points l154-15 thereby leaving the open spaces 16 and 17 at the respective ends of the holder through which the pointed end or ends of the sad iron may project a slight distance in case the sad iron which is being used is of greater length than the holder.

It is obvious that by this construction sad irons of a great -variety of lengths may be used with a given holder as the spaces 16 and 17 permit the converging ends of said irons to protrude forwardly and rearwardly between' said vertical flanges.

It will be understood that by the construction shown the bracket 4 together with the holder 2 may be readily disengaged and removed from the board by simply raising the front end of the bracket 4 a slight distance until the rear end 5 of the bracket is disengaged from the notches of the stationary bracket. It is also obvious that by thus pivotally connecting the holder 2 with the bracket 4 the holder is free to be turned in any direction as may be found most convenient in placing the iron in and removing the same therefrom, while by thus supporting the holder above and at a distance from the upper surface of the boardthe entire upper surface of the board may be used for ironing purposes, and the liability of the sad iron being brought in contact with said' bracket or holder is entirely avoided.

Having thus described my invention what I claim5as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

In a device of the described class, the combination of an ironing board, a stationary bracket, provided with a plurality of notches, rigidly affixed to the under side of said board, a removable bracket provided at one end with a catch adapted to engage in Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Feb. 27, 1912. l Application led August 6, 1910. Serial No. 575,903.

any one of the several notches of said stationary bracket and extending from thence horizontally past the edge of thel board, thence upwardly above and at a distance 5 from the upper surface and side of said board, and a sad iron holder pivotally attached to the upper arm of said bracket.

In testimony whereof I ax my `signature 1n the presence of two Witnesses.
